4. The display panel of claim 1 , further comprising a thin film transistor electrically connected to the organic light emitting diode, and wherein the signal line is disposed on substantially the same layer as a control electrode of the thin film transistor.
5. The display panel of claim 1 , further comprising a seal disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate and spaced apart from the organic layer of the second insulating structure.
6. A display panel comprising: a first substrate having a top surface and a side surface, the top surface including a display area and a non-display area outside the display area; a second substrate facing the first substrate; a first insulating structure disposed between the second substrate and the first substrate, wherein the first insulating structure overlaps the non-display area without overlapping the display area; an organic light emitting diode between the first substrate and the second substrate and overlapping the display area; a thin film encapsulation layer on the organic light emitting diode; a signal line having a side surface substantially aligned with the side surface of the first substrate, wherein the signal line is disposed on the first substrate; a second insulating structure overlapping the signal line and disposed between the first substrate and the first insulating structure, wherein the second insulating structure has a side surface substantially aligned with the side surface of the first substrate; a floating electrode overlapping the signal line and the second insulating structure, and a connection pad being in contact with the side surface of the signal line, wherein the second insulating structure includes an organic layer overlapping the signal line and the non-display area without overlapping the display area, and wherein the floating electrode is disposed between the signal line and the organic layer of the second insulating structure.
